(...) My suggestion is to use Lars' new outlining feature in L3P (which hasn't been released yet.) He told me that the new L3P would be out in spring, and it's spring :^P (note this smiley is panting waiting for the new L3P, not sticking its tongue (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hey everyone - I'm having a slight problem with MegaPOV. I've gotten my settings down to where I want them, but one of my models encounters this slight problem. This step isn't perfect - I need to make the arrow white so it shows up more, and need (...) (21 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) There are some valid reasons for putting a single part in a subfile, like to work around a part's awkward origin and/or orientation. (...) Whoa, there- I'm not getting down on LPub at all. I'm just saying that LPub has limitations when (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) This document describes a method of scaling to fit a bounding sphere into a viewport, starting somewhere around page 30.

(...) Hi Orion, The law of similar triangles comes to mind...... not that I consider myself much of a mathemetician.

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction... I have an object with a known bounding box, how do I calculate the position of the camera so that the whole object is shown on a screen of known dimentions? In other words, how to I determine the (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) L3P has a bug with part colors when there is a single part in a sub-file. In this case, you need to ask yourself why you have this case. It seems overkill to have side.ldr with just one part in it. None the less, it is a bug in L3P. (...) LPub (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Henry - L3P (or POV, I'm not sure) has a problem with color when converting LDraw files that contain single parts. To get around this, you can select the -c (Color) switch in L3PAO, and choose among the original 16 LDraw colors. You can also (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)

The attached .mpd file is showing a weird problem with colors when run through L3P and rendered in POV-Ray. There is a subfile that contains a single part. In there, the part's color is set to trans-red (Color36). The parent file sets it to black (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)
